CONTENT : where the export refund for sugar is differentiated, Commission Regulation 2255/2004/EC on proof of completion of customs formalities for the import of sugar into third countries as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation 800/1999/EC provides for relaxation of the rules on proof of completion of customs formalities until 31 December 2005. Given that the administrative difficulties that prompted this derogation and their impact on the market persist, application of that Regulation should be prolonged for one year, until 31 December 2006. Regulation 2255/2004/EC should be amended accordingly. This is the aim of the present Regulation.
ENTRY INTO FORCE : 24/12/2005.
